Anime/manga killers possibilities

Smiler

Tell me, who do you think fits? I only have 1 charachter in mind and that is Shin from Dorohedoro.

VasonJoorhees13

Hero killer Stain would be swell.

Gilgamish from Fate.

That would be OP Please Nerf..

Elfen Lied.

Lucy is the killer

Bando is the survivor.

Or Mariko for the luls, would be funny to see a killer roll around in a wheelchair killing everyone.

I think in Identity V, a lot of these suggestions or ideas would be implemented really well. I am still angry and salty that they have Tomie and Joker from Persona 5 and we do not. Pyramid Head was a step in the right direction. As a challenge, I will try to suggest characters that will not only fit into the game but will also look good within it.

My ideas for killers are:

1. Tomie(Tomie Series)-Obviously. She could plant multiple versions of herself across the map and even have a "charm" status effect where the player would fall in love with Tomie. They could either have an impossible skill check anytime they work on gens with another player, reveal their own aura or another player's aura. They'd act against the team because they are obsessed with Tomie. The status effect could be a useful tool for isolating players. So her ability would be to plant multiple versions of herself then morph to them whenever she needs to fast travel, obviously there will be a cooldown time. She could also infect players as well, she slips a tomie inside of them and they have an amount of time to remove the Tomie from their bodies before they are taken over, which would be a mini mori. Her weapon could be knife. Her Mori would be the player killing her instead then dying of madness afterwards, another Tomie will step in after the animation is complete. Her stage would be the Hinada Residence.
2. The Lolita-She's from the horror manga, "Ibitsu". Her whole deal is asking a guy "Do you want a little sister?", if you say no then you're dead and if you say yes then she will stalk you, impose on your life, and make you miserable until she eventually kills you then replace you with another brother. Her perks could easily revolve around Obsession. Her terror radius would be tiny and she will have the ability to stalk. Her weapon will be her umbrella she carries around to match her dress. She will have the ability to stalk and will be a stealth killer. Her mori see her pulling out a plush replica of the player's character then cutting them open to remove the innards so she could place them inside of her plush for her "collection". I imagine she'll have a passive ability along with the stalk that will play with the characters optically, make them see her when she's not there to induce a sense of panic. Her stage would be an abandoned mental asylum. She'd be a stealth character and a means to have new collectibles like Leatherface with the faces.
3. The Frog-The main antagonist from Museum. Its basically about a man who commit thematic murders similar to John Doe from Seven, he's known for wearing a frog mask. I am unsure what kind of abilities he'd have. I do know his stage would be an abandoned building decked out as a hellish museum to display his "art" and his weapon will probably be a hammer or a handsaw. His perks will definitely cause mangled or hemorrhage due to his own sadistic personality. I suppose they could very well introduce a new "game mode" in his ability similar to Jigsaw, have them play humiliating games like eating dog food which see them passing pretty hard skill checks, other than that I am unsure. I do know he will suffer from flashlight burn since his skin is sensitive to light but he'd have to be pretty strong to balance that out.
4. Kazu Kiriyama- This is cheating since Battle Royale is a novel adapted to film and a manga. Every character starts off with an explosive collar on their neck and its set to go off at a certain time. This could be an interesting way to introduce a time trial into Dead by Daylight then finally force players to make a choice to help each other or be selfish. A player being hooked could maybe either stop the timer or slow it down to discourage camping((I'm not against camping, I am a nuanced guy so I could see how it'd annoy a player that won't get to play and it'd be problematic for the survivors who already have to deal with a ticking clock)). It'd be pretty damn intense if the killer had an explosive collar as well. I think in a perfect and balance version of the game this idea will work. His weapon will be a wadachi and his chase theme will be his score from the live action film, his appearance will be based on the Battle Royale live action film as well. His stage will be the island and it'll have a building or so there.
5. Yoshikage Kira-From the popular series Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. He has a Stand called Killer Queen and he has the ability to implant an invisible explosive on any object he pleases, even people but he could only implant the bombs on one object at a time. I'm thinking a fun Easter Egg is that aura abilities won't capture Kira but Killer Queen in its place, you'd need supernatural awareness in order to see Stands or be a Stand user yourself. Kira would be able to plant bombs in survivors, generators, exit gates, chests, pallets, or lockers. Kira would be able to cut off loops, injure multiple survivors, stop gen rush, or even nail a hiding player. The one object at a time would keep things balanced and would give the killer the challenge of selecting their targets carefully. Bites the Dust could serve as an end game perk, imagine completing all of the gens and you're about to leave only...for things to reset, to make things fair, maybe the players will have to do another gen before leaving. He won't have a weapon, he would strike a survivor with his Stand instead. His mori will see him blowing a player into bits then collecting their hand as his prize. He has a hand fetish...His map will be Morioh. I imagine it'd function like Springfield or Haddonfield.

Not a killer but:

L from Death Note would be a cool survivor, they could easily use his live action version. His perks would revolve around detection and aura reading. He'd be a perfect companion for Tapp who is also a detective.

Ichigo Kurasaki- From Bleach. Bleach has a live action film, so it'd be pretty easy to insert him in the game without him seeming out of place. The idea of a soul reaper trying to stop the Entity and failing would be pretty cool. Ichigo's perks would revolve around aggressive play and aura reading. He'd obviously be nerfed otherwise he'd solo the entire DBDverse lol.

Shuya Nanahara-Also from Battle Royale. I'm thinking his perks would revolve around items, he'd be able to locate fallen items and have a perk called "Backpack" which will allow him to have a duplicate of an item he carries into the trial, if he discards his item after use then he will instantly regain that item back but it won't have the same add ons.

Kirie Goshima from Uzamaki would be an interesting survivor. Her perks would probably revolve around hexes and totems. Just give the iconic hairstyle with the spirals in them then she'll sell gangbusters.

We already have a lot of Japanese themed characters already, and uhm... Anime is kinda childish anyways, who would take this as either a killer or survivor seriously.

The thing is, what horror manga characters would fit into dbd?

Yeah, only serious stuff allowed here like

*checks notes*

a really determined mute in a Captain Kirk mask

4kids w/ knives

A pink elephant who has cut out the middleman of chloroforming victims and just chucks the bottle at them

A man who realized his job was a cover for body-disposal and so, obviously, ripped out his bosses spine and found a magic bell that lets him turn invisible

28_stabs

crazy chicks from Elfen Lied should fit.

I think it would be cool if they made Tomie survivor personally. Her whole thing is that she is kind of cursed to live out her death at the hands of jealous lovers over and over, kind of like how survivors live their deaths repeatedly at the hands of the killers.

I would think her perks would...

1. Make her more likely to be the obsession

2. Benefit others for working with/near her

3. Give her the opportunity to benefit from nearby survivors while effecting them in a negative way.

If a junji Ito villain were added to the game I would probably choose Fuichi (the model), Souichi, or maybe like a shark from Gyo.

However I do recognize that, in the unlikely event junji's works ever did make it into dbd, they would probably make Tomie the killer and Kirie the survivor.

EDIT: she's not specifically a anime/manga character, but Asami Yamazaki from "The Audition" could be an interesting addition to the killer roster.

That's what I put down for my killer/survivor duo. Hellsing as either killer or survivor is amazing. There are literally thousands of anime/manga killers that would be AMAZING to add to the scene. Much better than ######### Chucky or Jeepers Creepers. Like c'mon already you stupid #########. There are thousands of better people to add to the roster.

Interestingly enough, Tomie is a killer in Identity V and Suichi is a survivor, I would love this pair in DBD. Suichi would be a hilarious survivor and he'd be unique to the cast. Audition though....man...you have good taste, that's one of my favorite horror films. She'd be an excellent killer. The idea of the leading male being trapped in the fog with her would make the situation all the tragic.

How am I reading this post and not one person has suggested monkeys peak.

Monkeys Peak as the killer (obvs)

One of the non Monkey Peaks can be the survivor

Would be epic IMO

You obviously don't read any manga or watch anime. Its a medium and like anything else there's stuff for teens and there's stuff for adults.

No one mention corpse party so

The killer Sachiko

The survivor Satoshi

One of the best horror game i have played and they have an anime adaptation

Hahaha. Some people are clueless.

Last year in german tv, a kids channel had a neon genesis evangeluon movie marathon at prime time.

Nothing says "for kids" as listenting to a children song while one monster floods a town with another monster's blood and guts.

Also: Madoka episode 3.

---

On a personal note, its awful funny how some people here think an anime character would be added to dbd in cell shading style. OBVIOUSLY new assets will be in the established dbd aesthetic.

That said, Tenkuu shinpaan masks for all killers. Maybe complete skin for legion lol.

Yoshikage Kira would definitely fit as a killer, after all his fate at the end of JoJo part 4 would explain him ending up in the Entity's realm.

Childish? All toys are made by adults for children. Animation is a medium that can have far reaching dramatic themes, and have very personal growth. Just look at how people are so passionate about Avatar.

Sturgeons law says 90 percent of everything is garbage. Maybe you haven't seen the good ones. One series that particularly stuck out in my head was Paranoia Agent. Man that was a trip.

@GreenPufferFish said:

Dead by Daylight has a....rough design so it depends on the characters that they will be adding, some of these anime/manga especially the ones I have mentioned already have live action films based on them, they would only need to use those versions of the characters to fit in with the roster. Identity V which is an East Asian developed game handles this well.

His mori could also make Killer Queen appear inside the eye of a survivor and blow them up thus making them disappear from the map entirely without a single remaining trace.
